consented. The fake started to give
him $50 in small bills, but suggested
that he would recount them. With a
quick movement the fellow changed the
bills aud handed the lot to Mr.. Martin,

seller, who seeing that his intended vic
tim had pluck, was too glad to give the
old gentleman his money back. Mr..
